apparent in dried specimens, but could not fail to be recognized by 
anyone seeing the plant growing with its parents. — E. F. and Wm. R. 
Linton. 
Carex flava, Good., form. Clova, Forfar, 14th July, 1890; at the 
head of the Doll gorge. Apparently an alpine state with fulvous 
glumes. — W m. R. Linton. £ T do not see how better to name it.” — 
Ar. Bennett 
C. pciludosa , Good. Forms of this plant from the Kennet side, 
near Newbury, Berks, July, 1890. They probably come under the 
var. Kochiana , Gaud. — G. Claridge Druce. “ These seem to me 
simply poor and undeveloped C. paludosa. C. Kochia?ia is as robust 
and well-developed as the type.” — Ar. Bennett. 
Agrostis canina , L., var. mutica , Gaud. Milverton, Warwickshire, 
Sept., 1890.- — H. Bromwich. “A. vulgaris , With., possibly the form 
?iigra i but gone over.” — E. F. Linton. “I agree with you; not A. 
canina , but A. vulgaris , f.” — Ar. Bennett. 
A. canina , L. var. mutica , M. & K. Clova, Forfar, 17th July, 1890. 
— Wm. R. Linton. 
Avena fatua , L., var. intermedia. Clover field, Sellack, Hereford- 
shire, 7th August, 1890 . — Augustin Ley. “Seems right, and the 
same as was accepted by Hackel a year ago (p. 275).” — E. F. Linton. 
Poa . Root from Carnedd Dafydd. Cult. June and Aug., 1890. 
This Poa is an abundant one on the precipices of the Carnarvonshire 
mountains. Cultivated in a warm and sheltered position in a Here- 
fordshire garden it thrives and increases rapidly, both by root and by 
self-sown seedlings. During the earlier part of the summer, and until 
after flowering, the whole plant is intensely glaucous. — A ugustin Ley. 
“ Rev. A. Ley’s cultivated specimen (from Carnedd Dafydd) appears 
to me to come near to P. nemoralis , L., var. glaucantha , Reichb.” — 
G. C. Druce. “ This agrees in all details of importance with speci- 
mens of P. glauca. Sm., named by Hackel ; an exception is in the 
lower panicle-branches being more numerous. Babington’s Manual 
gives them ‘ solitary 7 or in pairs ’ for P. glauca. Smith, however, (who 
gives the distribution ‘on the mountains of Wales, Scotland, and 
North of England,’) does not mention this as a point in his English 
Flora. I have a Perthshire specimen with three branches : and 
cultivation increases their number to five. The flowerets are rather 
smaller in the Welsh than in the Scotch specimens.” — E. F. Linton. 
“ I think this is P. glauca , Sm., but I am not familiar with it as a 
cultivated plant. It is certainly not P. Balfourii nor P. nemoralis , 
var. glaucantha , which I have growing.' —Ar. Bennett. 
P. Balfourii , Pam., var. montan a, Pam. Clova, Forfar, July, 
1889 and 1890. So named by Prof. Hackel. — E. F. &: W. R. Linton. 
P. compi'essa , L , var. polynoda , Parn. Thornton Dale, North 
Yorkshire, July, 1890. Pronounced correct by Mr. Ar. Bennett. — 
W. W. Reeves. 
P. pratensis , L., var strigosa , Gaud. Railway bank, Milverton, 
Warwickshire, June, 1890. — H. Bromwich. Mr. Bennett agrees to 
the name. 
P. trivialis , L., var. parviflora, Parn. Selkirk, 25th July, 1890. I
